  • Music Talk Filling the Void

    Mark, Alan and Roger have continued the venture of just talking about music like a sports fanatic. So if you are one of those people who find something lacking in your social circles, there’s a community of listener’s participating and just enjoying this podcast because it’s all music talk. I highly recommend Sound Up! if you wish to fill a void that doesn’t seem to exist with the folks in your life who don’t seem as passionate about music news.

  • Excellent and Welcome Back.

    I enjoy listening to Mark and Alan again. I wish it could be daily. I never missed a show when they were on Debatable. Shame on you, SiriusXM. Keep up the good work, guys.
